INFORMATION
Inside of School students are expected to roleplay in situations appropriately, especially when roleplaying as a delinquent. Though this may come as common sense, as it stands school staff and server staff have had to deal with an increasing number of situations where students are unable to roleplay punishments appropriately, due to this fact we have created a guide to explain: What must be feared, how to ‘fear’ roleplay, what is/isn't acceptable & the In-Character school rules.
If you’re at all confused after reading this document, you may ask any general questions through #help of the Roleplay Hub discord.
SCHOOL FACULTY
When roleplaying, you must recognise that School Faculty and Principals/Deans are your superiors and roleplay considering that fact, meaning your character cannot be fearless to punishment. All faculty follow the same discipline system in order to allow students to react and roleplay accordingly; if any faculty are found to be abusing this system, they may be removed if reported correctly.
School faculty itself can be Professors, Teachers and Employees. You can visually see these roles by their in-game tags and ages.
2 VERBAL WARNINGS
DETENTION THREAT
SENT TO DETENTION
Once being threatened with a detention, your character must begin to FearRP.
EXAMPLE FIRST WARNING
DETENTION THREAT
SENT TO DETENTIONOnce being threatened with a detention, your character must begin to FearRP.
Here you can see a member of the Senior Leadership Team has verbally warned a student for swearing; you may still react after this point according to your character — No FearRP is necessary in this situation.
EXAMPLE SECOND WARNING
At this point your character is close to risking a detention, however no FearRP is necessary in this situation.
APPROPRIATE EXAMPLE OF BEING THREATENED WITH DETENTIONOnce your character has reached this point, you must begin to FearRP the consequences for your actions (this being detention). Please keep in mind this is an example and your character may react differently so long as it's realistic to the situation; your character cannot be fearless to punishment.
This example will get you an on-server warning for ‘Failure to FearRP’, this will remain on your history for 7 days.
DETENTION
Breaking school rules can often lead to consequences given by School Faculty or Student Councillors. If you are caught breaking a school rule you may be faced with this punishment. Detention allows a person of authority (Council, Faculty or SLT) to hold the delinquent student in the detention room for a period or after school.
When breaking rules on campus, you might be threatened with detention, but once threatened you must act realistically and fear the consequences of being given detention. If you’re continuously in this room or have multiple offenses relating to each other you could be eligible for expulsion or suspension.
Whilst in the detention room you must FearRP as this is considered the consequence for your actions. Logging off to prevent confrontation could lead to an on-server punishment under the rule of ‘Avoiding Roleplay’.
APPROPRIATE EXAMPLE
In this screenshot, you can see that a councillor has clearly asked the student sitting detention to get on with their task - at this point you must ‘FearRP’ and react appropriately. You may still ‘DelinquentRP’ on a different occasion, so long as you continue to appropriately FearRP the risk of your character being suspended.
This screenshot shows the student ignoring instruction and continuing to break school & detention rules. Doing this can result in an on-server warning.
SUSPENSION & EXPULSION
In extreme cases, your character may receive a suspension or even expulsion. In order for this to happen you must be in the presence of a member of the Senior Leadership Team (Principals/Deans) before your character is removed from the High School.
The suspension and expulsion punishments remain on your OOC record, so once you receive anywhere above four suspensions, you are likely to receive an expulsion. Keep in mind that these punishments can tarnish your character’s reputation and risk you being unable to join extracurriculars(sports teams/clubs), attending majority of the server's school events or even apply for certain roles on the forums.
If your character has clear knowledge of why they have been brought into a Senior Leadership office, you must automatically FearRP as you are in the presence of the highest authority within school grounds and can be suspended or expelled.
APPROPRIATE SUSPENSION EXAMPLE
In this screenshot, you can see a student being suspended by a member of the Senior Leadership Team as well as the student appropriately FearRP'ing during this situation. Your character cannot be fearless to suspension, but you may of course continue the roleplay in explaining the situation or react in the way your character ordinarily would.
In this screenshot, you can see the student clearly does not care about being suspended even though this is one of the main punishments that can affect your character’s future in roleplay. You cannot be fearless to suspension.
COLLEGE REMOVAL
When becoming a college student you can be removed from the College if you continuously break rules within the College. This decision is mainly by those who lead the college faction, yet in serious cases other school leadership team members can suggest this.
In a scenario where you are acting rebellious, you can be brought into an office, If this were to happen you would be called up to either Dean or Vice-Dean’s office to roleplay out your removal, which you will be placed back down to grade twelve. After being removed, you cannot receive this role back unless you redo the exam course with the approval of SLT.
WHAT CAN I BE REMOVED FOR?
1. Excessive physical violence2. Failure to attend classes
3. Misbehaviour (Disrespecting faculty, vandalism, bullying, etc.)
4. Consistent detentions (If you're frequently sent to detention, you may be removed from the College alongside receiving a suspension / expulsion)
REMOVAL EXAMPLE
In this example, you can clearly see the College student has taken responsibility and realised. Being removed from College realistically would affect their career choices and future, therefore must be FearRP'd. Your character doesn't have to accept the punishment immediately and can roleplay it out extensively, this is purely an example.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need to FearRP Councillors?
ONLY inside of the detention room - being in detention is the consequence for your previous actions, so you must FearRP any authority in that room.
A member of faculty is abusing FearRP, what do I do?
DM any Principal / Dean via Discord with appropriate screenshot evidence and the situation should be handled relatively quickly.
Can my character flirt with members of faculty?
No; this is against the school rules and can lead to punishment ICly and possibly an on-server warning if it becomes excessive or if you're being unrealistic; compliments are of course still welcome.
